Envirosight Releases New Poster: Anatomy Of A Sanitary Sewer

New resource illustrates the architecture of U.S. sanitary sewer collection systems.

Envirosight, the market leader in underground pipeline inspection equipment, has released an illustrated poster Anatomy of a Sanitary Sewer. Sanitary sewers are critical to protecting public health and the environment, but few outside the industry understand their operation. This poster shows how they work in a way that makes it easy for anyone to comprehend. From residential and commercial sources all the way to safe discharge from the treatment plant, this poster charts the journey of wastewater—a journey that is largely hidden from public view.

“Understanding the complex network of pipes that snake underground isn’t intuitive,” says Jake Wells, director of marketing for Envirosight. “Explaining the unseen and demystifying wastewater collection systems is essential to building public support and securing much-needed funding for communities and municipalities across the country.”

This new resource is a roadmap to sanitary sewer systems that includes a detailed key of each component, explains their functions, and is a great visual aid for informing ratepayers, training industry professionals or educating students. The poster is available free of charge and can be requested at inbound.envirosight.com/sanitary-sewer-system-poster. This infographic was developed as part of Envirosight’s commitment to creating and sharing resources that benefit the water and wastewater industry.
